Chapter 4

"DAI!" The moment Satoshi had stepped through the door, Emiko jumped out, smiling happily. She held out a black outfit.

"What's this?" Satoshi asked quietly, taking the outfit.

"Silly," Daisuke's mother laughed, messing up Satoshi's hair. "You have to go steal tonight. Did you forget? But you should have recognized the clothes-"

At once, Satoshi dropped the outfit. "Uh-" he glanced around the room, seeing Daisuke's grandfather looking confused yet his father was smirking softly at him. "E-Mom, I don't feel so good."

"What do you mean, Daisuke?" Daiki asked, taking a sip of his tea.

"Um, well, my stomach feels upset, and I fell so my arm feels a bit sore." he tried to come up with more reasons to excuse himself.

"Honey, that's alright. We can give you some medicine and Dark can do most of the job." Emiko smiled, holding out a bottle of medicine.

Satoshi froze, he didn't know how else to get out of this. He sighed and quickly ran upstairs to Daisuke's room.

HEY! Just because you're actually the Hikari boy doesn't mean that you're gonna stop me from stealing tonight! Dark argued. His screaming was starting to give Satoshi a headache.

Yes, it does. Satoshi growled, sitting down on the bed. He looked out Daisuke's window, the sun was setting and the time was growing even closer.

No, it doesn't.

Yup, I'm not letting you steal my family's work. And with things being like this, maybe it'll be easier.

DON'T MAKE ME FORCE MYSELF OUT!

"Daisuke?" a knock was heard from his door. Satoshi immediately sat up straight. The door opened and Kosuke was standing in the doorway. He chuckled and walked in, sitting next to Satoshi. "Now, I didn't even expect this." he laughed some more.

"Well, duh." scowled Satoshi. "There's no way I'm going to go steal my own family's work."

Kosuke nodded, still smiling at Satoshi. "I understand, it's like asking me to break my own tea cup." Satoshi wasn't sure if that was exactly it but he agreed. "Now, we're not forcing you to, but you make the decision."

"I know, but-"

"You know what I like the best when seeing you without the white wings, Satoshi?" Kosuke asked, standing up. "We get to see you're true face. There's no signs of suspicion in it like there normally, and I'm not sure if Dark's that kind of guy." and with that, Kosuke left the room.

That man's beginning to annoy me. growled Satoshi. He stared down on the bed and saw that Kosuke left the outfit.

Suave. Dark laughed.

Satoshi held out the outfit and grimaced. This is what you actually wear? Satoshi had a sick feeling in his stomach.

Did you really have to waste five dollars on a stupid bag of chips? Krad growled at Daisuke. His new host was really beginning to annoy him.

Well...yeah. I have nothing to eat here except ramen and bread. Daisuke chuckled, opening the bag.

Are they at least the original kind?

Nope, barbeque.

How stupider can you get? Krad shouted.

((It's a joke my friends made up. They think the barbeque stuff on the chips isn't exactly barbecue stuff...XD we're all idiots))

Daisuke shook his head and picked up the remote. Right as he went to turn on the TV, the phone began to ring. "Now who could that be?" He stood up, walked to the phone and answered it. "Hello?"

"Hello, Commander Hiwatari." an adult male's voice said. "I was wondering if you were able to come to the museum tonight, you know, for Dark?"

For some reason, Daisuke found himself nodding. He was beginning to panic a little. "Yes, yup, sure, no problem, ok." Daisuke quickly hung up the phone.

Wait...how am I supposed to stop Dark? Daisuke asked, pacing around the room. He stared down at the answering machine and the number 48 was blinking. What the...

Daisuke bent down and pushed the "play" button. The machine said, "first new message, 'Mr. Hiwatari, we'd like to advise you about warning card Dark sent up. It will be tonight at the Azumano Museum at nine.'" Daisuke took a quick look at the clock. It read, 7:39. The next ten messages were almost the same thing.

But then, the rest were a bit different. Once again, the machine said "eleventh new message. 'H-Hi Satoshi!' (there were some squeals in the background and some happy giggles.) 'We were wondering if you got our letters earlier this morning. Please call us back at 555-2043, 555-3464, 555-9474, 555-9872 or 555-1542. Thanks!'"

The next thirty seven messages were almost the exact same thing. Daisuke could hear Krad laughing hard. A couple times, Krad took huge, deep breaths.

Daisuke growled, closed the bag of chips, put them away and grabbed a jacket. He locked the door and left. Why'd you bring a coat.

Well...you know, it gets cold at night...great...more laughing. At least you're not mad at me anymore.

Krad was suddenly quiet. Hey, idiot. You do know you're going really early, right?

Yeah, but there's nothing to do at Satoshi's house. Daisuke wrapped the jacket around his arm and walked out. He hurried down the stairs. Daisuke paused for a second, took a deep breath and began to run to the museum. As he passed some people, he waved and continued. A confused expression was splattered across their faces.

Don't embarrass yourself. Krad scowled.

As he kept running, that phrase echoed in his mind. While he was thinking, Daisuke passed two attractive looking girls. He stopped and smiled. Daisuke took off his glasses, put them in his front pocket and unbuttoned his shirt one button.

Now, you're going to go embarrass yourself, you idiot.

No, I'm not embarrassing myself. This is just something I've always wanted to try. Daisuke chuckled softly. He casually walked up to the two girls and smirked. "Um, excuse me but," Daisuke ran his fingers through his hair. "I'm kind of lost around here. Do you know which direction I have to go to get to the museum."

Liar.

Both of the girls were taken back. They were standing close together, staring at their shoes, blushing. "The Az-Azumano one?" one with blonde hair asked.

"Is there another one?" Daisuke smiled at her. He gazed at her eyes.

"I-I don't think so." her friend with black hair said. "But, you go a little north, and then-" she looked up to point but saw his blue eyes and her face heated up even more.

"And then you take a left and you should see it. There will be lights surrounding it since, well, a big event is happening tonight." The blonde cut in. She grabbed her friend and dragged her away. Daisuke waved slightly and the girl's rushed even more. Daisuke turned around to walk away and heard shouts and giggles. He laughed, satisfied and continued on his way.

Great, Dark's staring to rub off on you.

Daisuke laughed and kept running.

Finally as he got to the museum, the whole place was surrounded with people. "Whoa..."

"Hiwatari! What are you doing?" a male's voice shouted. Saehara appeared from the crowd and snatched Daisuke's arm. "You need to get into the museum!" the older man growled at him.

"I'm sorry." Daisuke held up his hand. "I'll get in there right away." As fast as he could, Daisuke ran through the crowd to get into the museum and to get away from Saehara.

I can't believe I'm doing this. Satoshi whined as Dark flew to the museum.

Hey, think of it this way. You're not, I am.

Still, I'm not letting you steal anything. And how do you wear these uncomfortable outfits?

I'll do anything to look good. Dark grinned as he ran his fingers through his hair.

Soon he was right above the museum and Dark felt his heart skip a beat. Would Daisuke actually try to stop him? Or would Krad take over? Dark sighed, he couldn't decide what would be worse.

Finally, he flew quietly through the window and landed softly on the floor. No one was around. Dark tip-toed to the artwork he was supposed to steal. Quickly, he removed the glass surrounding it and slid it off its stand. It was almost off until Satoshi screamed, NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Dark began to feel dizzy and his hands were beginning to lose feeling. Satoshi was trying to take over.

Stop it. Dark growled through clenched teeth. He turned around to see if anyone heard him and there stood Daisuke in Satoshi's body. Dark immediately let go of the artwork and turned around. Daisuke began to walk toward Dark, Satoshi's normal serious face was placed on his face. Dark wanted to say something but he was afraid that it was Krad who was in control.

Daisuke stopped and looked up at Dark's frightened face. There was a silence moment. "Hey Dark!" Daisuke suddenly smiled widely and waved happily. Dark fell over and onto the floor.

"Wh-what the hell, Daisuke?" Dark stood up and shook Daisuke by the shoulders. "Don't ever do that again." he growled. They stared at each other for a minute but Daisuke never stopped smiling. Dark's upper lip curved as he slapped Daisuke.

"What was that for?" Daisuke asked, rubbing his cheek. He looked up at Dark with teary eyes.

"Stop smiling." he scowled. "If you're going to be in Satoshi's body, you need to act like Satoshi."

Daisuke now had a sad expression. "I-I was just happy to see you. I'm sorry."

"Alright." Dark now smiled at his former partner. "How's it going? Krad's not being a jackass, is he?"

Hey...

Daisuke laughed softly. "No, he's been being fine. Don't worry."

Dark couldn't help but grin even more. He was so used to seeing Satoshi with a glare on his face but to see him this happy was funny. "Well...if you've been wondering, Satoshi's been being nice to me but I bet he's lying to you and saying I'm giving him hell."

"No, Satoshi actually never talks about you." he told Dark. "It's like how we normally do things."

"Great, because you don't want creepy bursting out unwanted secrets, right?" Dark crossed his arms and laughed.

"Satoshi would never do that." smiled Daisuke innocently. "I know he wouldn't. He's my best fri-" At once, Daisuke's eyes grew wide and he bent over, his glasses fell to the floor.

No, but they said-

It doesn't matter. Satoshi quietly stated. If he admits to hold anyone close to him, Krad won't allow it.

"Daisuke!" Dark held Daisuke up.

Daisuke chuckled softly. "Remember Dark? I'm Satoshi." When Daisuke looked up, Dark nearly dropped Dai. Now he had two different color eyes.

Dark bent down, grabbed the glasses and handed them to him. "Take these and get out of here."

But Daisuke kept laughing weakly. "You don't have to worry about me." Daisuke leaned against the wall and placed the glasses on his face. "Now, just grab the artwork and g-" Once again, Daisuke was stopped. He lifted his hand and pointed to the window. Dark noticed that his hand was shaking. "Go."

"Sorry Dai but no can do." Dark tried to help Daisuke up again but then he noticed that his arm was getting wet. Daisuke was crying. Great. Dark growled. He took Daisuke's arm and put it over his shoulder, then grabbed the belt of his pants.

"Dark...I told you," Daisuke said in practically a whisper.

Listen to him, Dark. Satoshi insisted. But Dark just ignored him and dragged Dai to a bench. He set him on it but the second he let go of Daisuke, he stood right back up.

"Look, I'm fine." Daisuke stood up and walked away. But right before he could go, Dark put a hand on his shoulder.

"Stop lying to yourself." Dark gave him a worried look. Suddenly, Daisuke jumped back, covering his one gold eye. "Daisuke!" Dark reached out for Dai but he was on his knees, whimpering in pain. He tried to step toward Daisuke but Satoshi stopped him.

Keep interfering and you'll make it worse. Is that what you want? Satoshi shouted.

But Daisuke can't handle this on his own. Dark sneered and bent down to the blue haired boy. "Fine, I'll leave. I'll take the artwork, just...get well soon." and without another word, he stood up, snatched the artwork and called Wiz. Before he left, Dark glanced over his shoulder but the spotlight outside created a shadow over where Daisuke was.

He turned his head and was shocked to see that his nose was inches away from a blonde in the boy's school uniform, though white wings were spread wide, as if they were showing themselves off. "Now, where do you think you're going?" Krad said softly.

"But-" Dark walked backwards to avoid the hostile angel.

"We can't let you take that." At the same moment, both Krad and Satoshi said it. But for some reason, Krad seemed calmer. Normally, he'd get angry but Krad just stood there, in front of Dark, with a suave smirk on his face.

Without hesitation, Dark flew up and out of the window. Krad followed him. Once Dark was in view of the crowd outside, all the spotlights pointed at him and Krad. Great, idiots getting in my way. Dark swerved in the air, trying to lose Krad and the police.

"Dark and the other winged person, come down at once or we will be forced to fire." Saehara on a megaphone shouted. Both men ignored him and weaved around trees. Moments later, they heard gunshots fire. Dark saw the bullets heading toward them and flew down, though he was unable to avoid one and was shot in the leg. "Come down!" he shouted again and another group of gunshots were fired.

Dark threw up his arms to guard himself but nothing ever hit. "What?" He took his hands from his face and saw Krad was in front of him, holding out his hands, creating a magic shield. "Krad? Why would you-"

"This is our business and no one else's." he looked over his shoulder with a grin on his face. Even though it happened in a second, Dark saw Krad's eye flash from gold, to blue, then back to gold. Then, Krad turned around and threw a punch at Dark.

He leaned back in the air to avoid him. At once, Dark turned around and flew away as fast as he could. Krad mimicked him, reaching out to catch him. He was able to grab the artwork. They stopped in the air." Let go, Krad!" grunted Dark, yanking on the artwork.

Krad shook his head and pulled harder. The two angels kept pulling, fighting over the artwork. With one hard tug from Krad, Dark's hands slipped and he let go. But the sudden weight was too much for Krad and he accidentally dropped it. "NO!" They screamed, nose diving to the ground. Arms extended, they tried to catch it but it was getting closer and closer to the ground.

They were too close to the ground. At the same time, the men extended their wings, catching the air like parachutes and watched the artwork break into many pieces.

"Shit..." Dark growled. Satoshi was petrified. So was Krad.

...That's not good...Daisuke said.

Beginning to fly away, Krad muttered, "Daisuke says, 'See you tomorrow.'" At first, Dark couldn't register everything that happened. It took him a few minutes, but once it did, he shook his head and flew back home.

Updating may be a little slow but I'll try to go as fast as I can, work with me people, PLEASE! XD
